American Beautyberry

We have an interesting neighbor whose yard is full of native plants. This one grows in her front yard under a huge live oak tree. Beautyberry is sort of nondescript until fall when the berries turn purple.

An interesting plant are you able to eat these fruits ?

It looks very pretty in this photo especially with that fabulous shallow DOF

@Dawn I wondered the same thing. I read online that the berries are bitter and even birds don't eat them unless there is nothing else available.

@grammyn Thanks!

That colour looks very rich!
